We will reserve a space for the wheel chair and one (1) additional space for a person accompanying the individual in the wheel chair.

Graduates are reminded that this is a formal occasion. Please note the following:1. No one will be allowed to gather at the front of the stage to take pictures during the handing out of the diplomas. Parents will be asked to take pictures AFTER the ceremony. A photographer has been hired and will provide, free of charge, each grad with one(1) 5 X 7 picture of the grad receiving his/her diploma.

2. Out of respect for your fellow graduates, grads are asked to please return to your seats after receiving your diploma, and wait until all grads have crossed the stage. We should be able to move this part of the ceremony along fairly quickly so that the wait should not unduly inconvenience anyone. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
